any knowledge I could obtain, it is relative.
any experience I could have, it is just one of many.
I am thereby reduced to pure subjectivity; I am forbidden access to reality proper.
reality is reserved for the consensus. and the consensus is informed by the internet.
the internet was a mistake.

NYT, sometime in the near future: “Trump ordered the DOJ to shut down the NYT ‘by any means necessary’. But several constitutional scholars say it would be against the law - here’s why.”

I just realized that their greed is greater than their malice. the plan all along was to 1) tariff everything across the board, then 2) have industries come and grovel one by one, and finally 3) profit off of call options bought right before announcing the suspension of tariffs for that industry.

if the reactionary right’s identity is founded on being anti-left… shouldn’t we just switch over to all the traditional right wing talking points?
i.e. if we collectively started saying “we want lower taxes on the rich,” they might raise taxes just to spite us? reverse psychology

"If Treasuries are falling in price, as well as equities, then there is no safe hiding place and the panic becomes comprehensive. It is like a mega bank run on the entire financial system." adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...
Chartbook 369 Are we on the edge of a major financial crisis? Trump's Chart of Death and why bonds not equities are the big story.
The stock market sell off triggered by Trump’s grotesque Liberation Day has been dramatic and has added intense urgency to the sense of polycrisis many of us have been feeling in recent months:

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

msm: the trump admin’s stated policy objectives indicate a marked shift away from the more traditional pro-puppy, pro-orphan policy direction of the past. how will this affect the dow?

up til now the economy was more/less independent of who was president. sure, reps funneled money to the rich while dems did the opposite, but still, regular periodic investments in the S&P 500 had a “guaranteed” ROI.
now that a narcissistic schizo has usurped dictatorial control, all bets are off.

willingly and knowingly crafting and propagating logically fallacious arguments is a moral failing and should be persecuted legally.

they twist the narrative to put the words in their supporters’ mouths that their opposition will want to say about them in the near future.
they delegitimize FUTURE critical dissent. “but the trumpists were saying the same things about biden!” they thereby create the illusion of both-sidesism.
